Just picked up a Be Buyer Force Blue pan at World Market for 50% off! Could have gotten an additional 10% off if I had worn a Cardinals shirt, but I didn't know there was a promo like that going on....

Keep in mind, this oven was built from retired kiln bricks and shelves, and scavenged blocks. It's like an ugly child -- only good looking to it's parents Last night a couple of friends came over and we fired off 3 pies, some stuffed breads, and loaves of Estonian black bread and boules of whole wheat and rye. I didn't take the oven up to 800+ as I wasn't sure how this dough recipe would respond. Instead, we just let it cruise along at around 700. It's Peter Reinhart's neo-neopolitan recipe from his book American Pie. In less than a minute, the bottom was crisp enough to slide the pizza around. I'll let the pix tell the rest of the story..........
Oh yeah, the breads were baked at around 500 for about 20 minutes, and have a superior crust!

Marko, I'm jealous of your skills! It's a lot more work to get good at knifemaking, like you do, than making folks happy with pizza :-) Speaking of which, I'm hosting a dinner meeting tonight with about 20 potters. It's a covered dish, so I'll only make 4-5 pizzas.
